Four people are dead following a line of fast-moving storms, Madison County Sheriff Allen Riley said.

Four houses were leveled by the storm in Smithfield on Tuesday around 7:14 p.m. One two-story house was lifted off its foundations and carried across the street, Riley said during a press conference.

Most of the damage was isolated to a small area of Goff and Northrup roads, he said.

“It actually looks like something you’d see out of the Midwest,” Riley said. “I’ve been in law enforcement 32 years in this area and I’ve never seen anything like that. Ever.”

Police are trying to notify next-of-kin, so no names have been released. There will be a 9 a.m. press briefing on Wednesday at which time more details will be offered.

At 9:31 p.m., the National Weather Service out of Binghamton posted a Facebook message reading: “Most of our area is now in the ALL CLEAR. Unfortunately it looks like we have had 3 fatalities in Madison County, NY (southeast of Syracuse, NY) this evening due to the high winds. Our thoughts are with all families impacted by the storms today. We will have multiple survey teams across Central NY and NEPA tomorrow to determine the cause of damage.”

Around 7:30 p.m., fire crews from Munnsville, Lincoln and Morrisville were alerted to one or more buildings collapsed in the 4800 block of Goff Road in Smithfield.

Around 8 p.m., after the storms rolled to the east, Madison County 911 operators reported being “extremely busy.”

The storm has left widespread power outages across the area.

Flooding was briefly reported on some side streets in Oneida, and downed trees in Sylvan Beach and Verona.
